Publisher's Summary
The thrilling new novel, inspired by the events at Jonestown in the 1970s.
It’s the summer of 1968, and Evelyn Lynden is a woman at war with herself. Minister’s daughter. Atheist. Independent woman. Frustrated wife. Bitch with a bleeding heart.
Following her conscientious-objector husband, Lenny, to the rural Eden of Evergreen Valley, California, Evelyn wants to be happy with their new life. Yet she finds herself disillusioned with Lenny’s passive ways - and anxious for a saviour.
Enter the Reverend Jim Jones, the dynamic leader of a revolutionary new church....
Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Beautiful Revolutionary explores the allure of the real-life charismatic leader who would destroy so many. It follows Evelyn as she is pulled into Jones’ orbit - an orbit it would prove impossible for her to leave.

Good read
I enjoyed this book. I have always been intrigued by cults and remember learning about Jonestown. The storyline was intriguing and kept me mostly interested. At times the story line seemed to drag out and I found myself waiting for it to move along, At times the narrator was difficult to listen to. Overall I am glad I listened.

Great Story
I loved this story but noticed a number of errors in the audiobook with a sentence being misspoken and then repeated again.
Such an interesting story and will listen again!
